Protect your information

If your computer is lost, stolen or breaks down, have you made a back up of all your information?

To protect yourself and the memories contained in your pictures,
music and documents it is essential that you back them up.

An easy way to back up is to connect an external disk drive to your computer and regularly copy all the contents of your document folder to this drive.

Unfortunately on its own an external drive may not ensure that your information is 100% safe. The worse case scenario is if your home is flooded or there is a fire. This may mean that both your computer and your external drive are ruined.

If you are robbed then the thief may take both your computer and the external drive.

The solution is to back up your data online. There are many back up services available. the one that I recommend is Backblaze who provide unlimited back ups.

I recommend that you use both an external drive and an online back up service. In this way you are covered for all eventualities.
